I got this book quite early, but it was a book I chose myself, so maybe somewhere between 7-10 years old? Anyway, I enjoyed it even though it was old. It was a Swedish translation. Then we went to England on vacation a couple of times and my sister found four hardcover books with illustrations that ...
A classic children's tale that has just the right balance of sweet and thrilling and scary, with an emphasis on the virtues of determination, courage, love, cooperation, and friendship, but without any tiresome moralizing. Hardcover that I picked up at a church rummage sale for the funky illustra...
The same as the movie and yet, so different too.If I was to describe the story and act like there was no movie to be seen, I would tell you about this dark and whimsical fantasy. Where witches rule the lands and creatures of many kinds are in abundance.I wish I had not seen the film. As epic as it w...
I'm not sure if I ever read this book before, but I bought it thanks to the unusual illustration style of Michael Sieben, thinking Lily would like it.

My history teacher explained the meaning behind everything in great detail about the bimetallic standard, William Jennings Bryan, factory workers, farmers, etc. etc. etc. E...

I would make a Yellow Brick Road of paper for the classroom floor (or go outside and use yellow street chalk). I would ask the students, "How many bricks would it take to make ou...
I'm so glad to finally be rereading these books! I don't think I've read any of them since I was maybe 11 or 12, possibly younger, and they've been on my wishlist/to-reread list for a very long time now. This was a very short, easy read (although it took me two days to finish, thanks to this reading...
I have to say I definitely love the movie more. Maybe because the movie is such a well known and favorite of everyone's? The book is definitely well written, obviously, but I liked the changes in the movie more. Dorothy finds herself in the world of Oz after a cyclone hits her home in Kansas. She...
